This presentation will describe the methods used to determine the feasibility of delivering a remote vocational rehabilitation intervention for traumatic injury survivors as part of the ROWTATE study, which was delivered across two UK major trauma centres. It will also explain how fidelity and acceptability were measured in a remotely-delivered vocational rehabilitation study.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the findings of our return to work after major trauma (ROWTATE) feasibility study.
Understand how we determined whether it was feasible to conduct a definitive trial to explore the effectiveness of our trauma vocational rehabilitation intervention.
Describe how we trained occupational therapists and clinical psychologists to deliver our trauma vocational rehabilitation intervention.
Understand how we determined whether our vocational rehabilitation intervention was acceptable to trauma patients and therapists.
